A Tale of Two...

For solving today's "Story Problem," you may use a calculator.  Please show your work. 

There are two men: "Jose Legal" and "Joe Illegal".  Both men's families have both parents at home,  both have two children, and both families live in Woodburn...

Jose Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with state and Federal taxes, workers' comp, Social Security and Medicare deducted.
Joe Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table," and he pays NO taxes.

Ready? Now pay attention...

Joe Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Joe Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Jose Legal pays for medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Jose Legal now Has $24,031.00.

Jose Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Joe Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Jose Legal's and Joe Illegal's children all attend the same school. Jose Legal pays for his children's lunches while Joe Illegal's children get a taxpayer-subsidized free breakfast, lunch, and snack. Joe Illegal's children have an after School ESL program. Jose Legal's children go home, or to day care, if Jose can afford it.
Jose Legal and Joe Illegal both enjoy the same police, fire protection and other government services, but Jose Legal pays for them while Joe Illegal does not only not pay for them, but receives the "lion's share" of public services:  family or other counselling, medical and dental treatments, nutrition "support," public or publicly-funded housing,  flu shots, utility bill assistance, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
